Game

The children sit in a ring. One takes up a poker and bangs it three times on the floor. He then hands the poker to the person next to him and says, "You can do but little if you can't do that." Generally the next child will take the poker and bang three times on the floor. This is wrong. The correct action is for the person who received it, to pass the poker from his hand which received it to the other hand--and this is the action which was done as the first person said, "You can do but little if you can't do that."
